Plaintiff Robert Smith filed the present Complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 on
January 1, 2016. (Doc. No. 1.) On June 28, 2016, Magistrate Judge Holmes issued a Report and

either party could file an objection within fourteen days. (Id. at 22.) Neither party has filed an
objection.
Upon review, the Court finds the Report and Recommendation to be well-founded and
ADOPTS it in its entirety. Accordingly, Plaintiff’s claims are DISMISSED without prejudice,

It is so ORDERED.
